Calgary

Calgary, Alberta, is the gateway city to the Canadian Rockies. Those arriving by air will get a glimpse of the mountains to the west as they land at the Calgary airport. Calgary started out as Canada's first North West Mounted Police outpost in 1870. It grew to become a railway depot and then a "cow town" where area ranchers congregated to sell cattle. Today its cosmopolitan business centers are more tied to the
oil industry. The last vestiges of its cow town reputation lie with the Calgary Stampede, known as the world's largest rodeo, held for ten days every July.

 Banff and Lake Louise

The town of Banff, nestled in a circle of mountains, is the main area of settlement. A first-class tourist resort, it abounds with restaurants, stores, entertainment, and attractions. The world-famous Banff Springs Hotel built in the late 1800's is still the focal point of the town. Canadian Pacific built this monument to the railway age, bringing tourists and settlers to an area previously known only to Indigenous
people and a few explorers.

The forerunner of the park as we know it today was created in 1885 as the Rocky Mountain Hotsprings Reserve, following the discovery on Sulphur Mountain of eight natural hot springs. If you can spare the time before this tour, plan on spending a few days in Banff
& Lake Louise and its surroundings.
